To investigate how private vs. public water systems affect water quality and equal access to safe, clean water, researchers mapped the distribution of water system ownership, water system violations, and water injustice nationwide. Their findings are published in the journal Risk Analysis. The study is the first to integrate geospatial mapping of water violations, social vulnerability,  and, importantly, perceptions of water access in relation to public versus private ownership of water systems on a national scale.

A new study finds about 10% of websites that claim to comply with online advertising standards are running ads that violate those standards. The finding tells researchers that the ad-filtering rules browser extensions use to enforce the standards have flaws advertisers can take advantage of to display non-compliant ads.

Teoxane Publishes New Study Confirming Safety, Biocompatibility, and Long-Term Efficacy of RHA®4 in Midface Augmentation

Teoxane has released a new study in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Global Open, highlighting the biocompatibility, safety, and performance of RHA®4, a resilient hyaluronic acid filler designed for dynamic facial areas. The study supports RHA®4's effective and natural integration into subcutaneous adipose tissue, with benefits including volume restoration, collagen stimulation, and extracellular matrix remodeling.

Key findings include:

Seamless tissue integration and high biocompatibility, with no migration or severe reactions.

Effective lifting of both deep and superficial fat compartments using the Multilayering Technique (MLT).

Long-term results: up to 2 years of sustained volume and natural appearance without compromising facial expressiveness.

Preclinical studies showed mechanical compatibility with adipose tissue and preservation of natural biomechanics.

Clinical data from 35 patients and a 2-year follow-up case study confirmed durability, safety, and natural aesthetics.

RHA®4 also stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin quality over time.

This research reinforces Teoxane’s dedication to scientific innovation and positions RHA®4 as a reliable solution for natural-looking, long-lasting midface rejuvenation.

The Microbiology Society, in collaboration with our expert membership, has produced a series of guides to communicating microbiology. 

Three new documents which aim to guide readers to safely communicating fundamental aspects of microbiology research are now available on the Microbiology Society website
